On Saturday, January 21, 2017, between 5,000 and 8,000 people gathered in Spokane, Washington to march in solidarity with the Women’s March on Washington D.C. A rally was held inside of the Spokane Convention Center, which quickly filled to capacity. Thousands more were left to wait outside for the official march to being. Following the rally, the march moved through downtown Spokane and ended back at the Convention Center. Demonstrators marched in defense of “equality, equity, decency, and racial justice”.

On January 21, 2017, more than one million men, women, and children across the United States, and around the world, marched in solidarity with the Women’s March on Washington D.C. The marches were held on the day after the inauguration of U.S. President Donald J. Trump, and were framed as a statement of opposition to the views and ideas put forward by President Trump.
